    Your original post is full of grammatical errors, doesn’t make much sense, and is lacking enough information to illicit a decent answer.

    I was also drunk myself and decided not to reply any further.

    In any case, I think “too hot to touch” is within the normal operating temperature range of automobile disc brake rotors. I remember reading somewhere that 150-250F is quite normal and maxes of 600-800F are near the max the brakes can handle. I can’t find the reference today.

    Friction brakes work by converting kinetic energy (motion) into heat. That’s why the rotors get hot.

    Why are you touching your brake rotors?

    Ya or constantly slamming them hard all the time.
    My calipers are hot too so I don't touch them. But brakes on any of my vehicles last at least 30k miles or 50k kilometers even for my heavy footed spouse.

    to be fair, i absolutely do this. but i don't have a heat buildup, or pad usage issue either.
